Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

The only truly good news was the low skill level of the opposition. They might have claimed an infamous name, but they didn't have the skill level to compare to the Amaris Dragoons. The bad news abundant as it was... no pun intended, was the volume of enemies. That had...

They were getting down to the wire or at least that was the feeling they were absolutely getting to the point where something was going to have to give and a choice made... and it seemed like the general populace knew it as well. The Magistracy was going to have to chose where to send...
Notes This is going up early, shit happened, so this is the original version of what was going to happen but is not the current canonical version as we will jump back and around and hindsight being 2020 maybe this version will have proven better or more compact but the standing current version...

And of course as an addendum most of the resistance he'll not just to semi automatic/ sub machine guns but for that matter to bolt actions came from the various ordinance branches and officers who thought they would lead to wasted ammo
